Tour Details

Tour Description

With a morning pickup (approximately 8am) from the Star City Coach Terminal, Pirrama Road, Sydney, or earlier from your CBD accommodation, you'll be able to relax and take in the scenery on your way to the Blue Mountains. Your driver will tell you about your day ahead on your journey to visit the following locations:

Discover the World Heritage treasures of the Blue Mountains and the breathtaking natural wonders of the Jenolan Caves. Nestled on the western side of the Blue Mountains, this extensive network of limestone caves and above-ground arches are Australia’s most impressive.

Leura is one of several villages in the Blue Mountains that perfectly captures the spirit of the region – fresh mountain air and stunning scenery. There’s time in Leura to browse through the antique shops, galleries and book stores. Why not purchase a takeaway lunch from the Loaves & Dishes café? (Tour will no longer stop in Leura from 1 April)

Travel through Katoomba, the ‘capital’ of the Blue Mountains. Stop to take photos from a perfect vantage point and capture aweinspiring views of dramatic cliffs, deep canyons and lush vegetation, particularly eucalypts.

If time permits, we will stop at Echo Point to see the Three Sisters rock formation. The Indigenous inhabitants of the Blue Mountains believed that the Three Sisters - named Meehni (922 m), Wimlah (918 m), and Gunnedoo (906 m) were turned to stone to protect them from being kidnapped by another tribe's men. The elder that turned them to stone was killed in the ensuing battle and nobody was able to turn the sisters back. You can see the Three Sisters from Echo Point, resplendent in the morning sunlight. They’re an amazing sight as the sun shifts to cast magnificent colours across the rock face.

Head to Jenolan Caves along the Cliff Drive with its stunning scenery. You'll enjoy a guided tour through these fascinating and beautiful caves - the oldest open cave system known to the world. The caves stretch a whopping 40kms through a multi-tiered network. The Indigenous locals called this place 'Binoomea', meaning 'dark places'. The caves all feature amazing lighting, underground rivers and limestone formations. You'll visit captivating Lucas Cave, the largest of the Jenolan Caves. Its highest chamber reaches 54 metres and is known as 'the Cathedral' and has often hosted concerts, due to its amazing acoustics. If Lucas cave is unavailable, you'll instead be taken through the 'Imperial Cave'. (Please note that the guided tour of Lucas Cave has over 900 steps. You will need to be able to walk unassisted to participate in the tour.)

Before you return to Sydney, you'll stop to admire the beauty of Blue Lake - a body of sapphire-coloured water that has gained its spectacular tint as a result of the minerals from the Jenolan Caves. This spot makes for amazing photo opportunities and is often the site for wedding photography, such is its beauty. A great photo opportunity.

At the end of the day (approx. 7:15pm), you'll be returned to your Sydney accommodation or Star City Coach Terminal.
